mortality/aging
• most mice die shortly after birth
|
respiratory system
• vascular endothelial plexus is dilated and dysfunctional
|
• mesenchymal cell proliferation in the lungs is reduced compared with wild-type mice
|
• however, lung branching of terminal airways is normal
• mice exhibit poor development of lung mesenchyme
|
• at E10.5 to E18.5, mice exhibit lung hypoplasia compared with wild-type mice
|
• epithelial and mesenchymal cell proliferation in the lungs is reduced compared with wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
